[QUOTE="tyromeo55, post: 3590061, member: 1719"] Just a note....... (if it even makes any sense) Static converters do work but they are not perfect by a long shot. You only get 2/3 the rated HP and the motor will run hot even at that. You also will need a start cap momentarily in the circuit to get the thing running Remember single phase is 240V center tapped to get the neutral and 120V across either winding to neutral. That makes the waveform 180 deg out of phase NOT the 120 deg a 3 phase motor is looking for. The manufactured leg out of the caps will float all over the place as load goes up and down. For most applications a rotary converter or VFD will be a better choice. [/QUOTE]
